I submitted a Family Controls Distribution entitlement request on 4/22 for my app Prof Blob. I received the confirmation page after submitting, but I have not received any approval, rejection, or status update. We are currently blocked from moving forward with our production release submission due to this entitlement.
Details:
Request ID: Y2L55S3W34
Team ID: 5AXHQ5ZF3G
App: Prof Blob
Bundle ID: com.spammusubi.blob-screen-time
Related extension bundle IDs:
- com.spammusubi.blob-screen-time.BlobActivityReportExtension
- com.spammusubi.blob-screen-time.DeviceActivityMonitorExtension
- com.spammusubi.blob-screen-time.ShieldActionExtension
- com.spammusubi.blob-screen-time.ShieldConfigurationExtension
Purpose: Individual device management for focus and productivity. Prof Blob is a digital wellbeing / screen time management app that uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs to let users select distracting apps and require a short math-based cognitive gate before opening them.
The app uses FamilyControls, DeviceActivity, and ManagedSettings. Development builds are working, but the Family Controls Distribution entitlement is required for production builds, TestFlight validation, and App Store submission.
Is there a way to expedite this request or confirm that it is still in review? I would be happy to provide any additional information needed to move the request forward.
